'SING' ANIMATED MUSICAL
CASTS MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY, REESE WITHERSPOON AND SCARLETT JOHANSSON
Now, here's a delightful project: Matthew McConaughey will lead the voice cast of the animated movie SING set for December 2016 release with more than 85 hit songs in it! He will be as Buster Moon, a dapper koala who runs a once great theatre that has fallen on hard times. Seeing the thing he loves most in his life coming to ruin, Buster connives to restore the theatre’s fortunes by producing the world’s greatest singing competition. Seth MacFarlane will be a crooning, con artist mouse; Tori Kelly a timid teenage elephant suffering from stage fright; Reese Witherspoon the overtaxed mother of a litter of 25 piglets; Taron Egerton a young gorilla from a crime family eager to break out of the family business; and Scarlett Johansson as a punk rock porcupine looking to ditch her arrogant boyfriend and embark on a solo career.

'THE FINEST HOURS' TRAILER
WITH CHRIS PINE, ERIC BANA, BEN FOSTER, CASSEY AFFLECK
You can also get thrills from the second trailer and a new poster for THE FINEST HOURS action drama out this January with Chris Pine in the lead role.
In February of 1952, one of the worst storms to ever hit the East Coast
struck New England, damaging an oil tanker off the coast of Cape Cod and
literally ripping it in half. On a small lifeboat faced with frigid
temperatures and 70-foot high waves, four members of the Coast Guard set
out to rescue the more than 30 stranded sailors trapped aboard the
rapidly-sinking vessel. Eric Bana, Ben Foster, Holliday Grainger, Graham McTavish and Cassey Affleck are also in the star studded cast!
Wow... I need to frequent your blog, Dez; I'm the last one to find out about film-related stuff, and I'm always wondering where people learn about it... At YOUR blog :) Seriously, great stuff. Looking forward to all of these—especially VICTORIA.

DeleteI wonder if any of the actors in "Sing" can actually sing? Reese Witherspoon? Sounds like Scarlett Johnanssen will have to...
ReplyDeleteand even Scarlett ain't singing but barely purring :) Matthew might have a jazzy voice! And Tori Kelly is a singer... who is getting unjustified attention these days....
DeleteSing sounds hilarious. Witherspoon having 25 piglets? That makes me chuckle too.
ReplyDeleteand overtaxed too!
